 2/ Asimina triloba, pawpaw tree

Smooth, custardy fruit that tastes like banana with vanilla. Expect fruit 5-7 years after germination. Not self-fertile, need two trees. Very easy to hand-pollinate. Note: Don’t eat skin or seeds. Skin easily peels away and fruit doesn’t cling to seed. You can eat it like a burrito or cut it in half and spoon out the insides. 

See more info in AltText.

 6/ This project is self-funded but I will set up a kofi if I run out of puffy envelopes to help pay for more puffy envelopes and help with cost of shipping. (Currently have 21 left.) I will ship the seeds first week of November after the persimmon crop is ready. 

Leftover seeds will be planted locally. 

This project is to help with climate crisis food security, planting resilient native edible plants. Hopefully next Fall I’ll have more variety to share.
